ASHENEWS reports that the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it is investigating a viral post which claimed that a woman was using polytene- laced oil to fry plantain chips.
The agency in a statement issued on Saturday said that it will conduct necessary laboratory investigations to ascertain the validity of the claim.
“While the post lacks details such as the observed date and geographical location, NAFDAC urges the public to remain vigilant consumers of regulated food products.
“Consumers are advised to purchase from reputable sources, check for the NAFDAC Registration Number on the product label, be cautious of suspicious packaging, and avoid products with objectionable smells or colours.”
It noted that it remained committed to ensuring the safety and quality of food products, adding that further updates on the investigation will be provided to the public.
